⚡Big News: Nebraska's first-ever AI degree program is now open for enrollment at University of Nebraska at Omaha! This is why it's a big deal 👇 🎙 UNO Chancellor Joanne Li, Ph.D., CFA: “The BSAI program at UNO is not just about teaching students to use AI, develop AI solutions, or create AI technology. It’s about preparing them to lead in a world where AI will be the driver of innovation and economic growth.” 🎙 Greater Omaha Chamber President & CEO Heath Mello: "Cities that embrace emerging technologies like artificial intelligence become magnets for top talent and innovation, transforming not only their economies but also the quality of life for their residents. By launching this groundbreaking AI program, UNO is positioning Omaha to be a leader in the tech revolution, creating a ripple effect that will drive growth, attract new businesses, and foster a vibrant, future-ready workforce." 🎙 UNO IS&T Dean Martha Garcia-Murillo: “This degree is a game-changer for Nebraska. It will attract students from all over the state—and the country—who want to be part of the next wave of AI innovation. And it will give Nebraska employers the talent they need to compete in a global market.” https://lnkd.in/g772drHA

Looking for ~10 people more or so to round out some qualitative research. If you are a secondary teacher or know of any, O would so appreciate your thoughts shared in this survey!

As the hype about Generative AI settles somewhat, this is an opportunity to hear the early findings of real-world implementation of the technology in education.

I am part of the 'International Working Group on the Futures of AI in University Education', which has developed the following survey on:  The Futures of Higher Education in the Age of AI https://lnkd.in/gf_ecTVT It contains 22 predictions for the year 2035. The survey is open to a wide range of participants, with a focus on those working in universities, educational services, education related organizations, and technology - and also students. It would be wonderful if YOU could complete the survey! It takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the detail of responses. Responses are confidential, with ethical approval by the University of Leeds. Survey link: https://lnkd.in/gf_ecTVT

Let us confront the elephant in the room: the infiltration of Generative AI into university premises. For professors, it resembles a recurring nightmare, while for students, it could easily pass as a newfound boon, especially during assessments. But here's the question: Should the use of GenAI be permitted or does it undermine the integrity of education? I had the opportunity to present my thoughts through a multi-tier workshop on "Generative AI in Legal Education and Beyond" led by Dr Anat Keller and Ms. Cari Hyde-Vaamonde. The goal of the exercise was to develop guidelines for adoption by King's College London. Interestingly, while the Russell Group of Universities emphasises collaboration, different universities have adopted varying stances. For instance, the University of Oxford, King's College London and UCL are favourable towards its use, whereas University of Cambridge and The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) forbid its use in assessments. My key takeaway: Prioritize AI Literacy for students and faculty alike. Individual module leaders would then decide their approach to GenAI for their course. There is simply too much variability both in terms of GenAI tools and criteria of individual modules for broad guidelines, not to mention the rapidly evolving nature of the technology. #GenAI #LegalEducation #FutureForward #AIinAcademia

Is your institution ready to ride the wave of AI in higher education? Northern Kentucky University is setting a precedent by launching Kentucky's first artificial intelligence degree program this fall. Why does it matter to you? As leaders in enrollment management, marketing, and admissions, the integration of AI in our curriculum is not just a trend, it's a necessity. It's about equipping our students with the skills for the future and enhancing their experience in higher education. Drawing from my own experience in higher ed and tech, I can attest to the transformative power of AI. Here's a tip: Start exploring how your institution can integrate AI into its curriculum or offer it as a minor. It's a strategic move that can help navigate the enrollment cliff and keep your institution at the forefront of higher ed trends. https://lnkd.in/gz67uyb9
